Welcome to Aunt Jackie
I’m Jackie Dives, a photographer and artist who is passionate about the power of community.
My newsletter is about being an artist, living authentically, building community, seeking, soothing, and striving.
I have two art books about the grief that followed my choice to choose a childfree life over staying with my partner who decided he wanted to have kids. The books can be found here. One of them is about a solo cycling adventure across South Korea, and another is about the healing and care rituals I partook in.
I work as a long form documentary photographer and photojournalist. One of my greatest achievements was having one of my personal photography projects published in Time Magazine.
I’m new to Substacking, but plan to have bonus materials for paid subscribers, including a place where I can answer your questions. These newsletters take a lot of time and energy so I hope you will consider contributing as a paid subscriber.
